Capstone for Study of St. Therese April 28, 2006
Stinki (USA)
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I ordered this book from alldirect via amazon. Wow. It is wonderful. The details, this book is fabulous. This book brings the saint, family and friends to life. The author put a variety of interesting photographs of things, places and people into a beautiful, attractive format. The book has appeal for those passing by the garden of Carmel, and provides reflection points to those who have studied Carmelite spirituality and in particular St. Therese. After reading Poetry of St. Threse, Correspondence Vol 1 and in the middle of Vol 2, it is for me a capstone bringing all aspects of her life and faith together. It would make a beautiful coffee-table gift book for your Catholic friends or for yourself.

"Therese and Lisieux" is an iconography of Therese which has delighted her friends. A marvel of precision and incomparable photographic work, combining scholarly detail with popular appeal, it shows the friends of Therese pictures of many scenes, objects, and documents never previously available. The English text explains the significance of all the photos and places them in context. You can follow Therese month by month in this powerful visual pilgrimage through her life. Don't miss this work of art, which opens the Lisieux Carmel to all of us.

The unbelievable photographs in this book chronicle the life of Saint Therese. It is a veritable scrapbook of authentic photos, relics, handwritten documents, and personal items that any devotee of Saint Therese will treasure. For those who are familiar with her autobiography and the story of her life, it is the next best thing to a pilgrimage to Lisieux.
